If you've ever watched an eSports tournament, whether it's League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, or Fortnite, you might have noticed something
I never understood how better equipment that is more ergonomically centric isn’t something many eSports enthusiasts invest it especially at a professional level. Looking at that hurts.
Because they’re kids, and probably poor too. When I was younger I played so much CS 1.6 that I seriously considered going pro. The setup I had then would probably literally kill me now, but when I was a teenager I didn’t feel it at all. I could work with anything so long as I had my trusty MX518.
I don’t understand why gaming keypads like the Razer Tartarus didn’t really take off. Feels so much better to game on than stretching your pinky to hold Ctrl to crouch.

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
